Must do while there:

Utah features many cultural attractions such as Temple Square, the Sundance Film Festival, the Utah Shakespearean Festival, etc. Temple Square is ranked as the 16th most visited tourist attraction in the United States. Arches National Park is perhaps the most breathtaking of Utah's many spectacular parks; Arches National Park is home to over 2,000 natural arches. It lies atop an underground salt bed, some 300 million years old and as much as several thousand feet thick in places, which caused the formation of the arches, spires, balanced rocks, and eroded monoliths in the area.
